The pencil and paper are already fairly "basic" from this standpoint, though with enough time the pencil may just become graphite or wood and need a replacement while the paper would gradually fade

The personality thing is pretty important and beyond the hints of it in the experiment log that wasn't shown very much. The plan was to make it afraid and sympathetic, really just a normal person wrapped up in an awful situation

I think next edit I'll look at including a little more detail about its personality and how it reacts to containment!

while I am glad that this has finally made it out of the draft stage, I have some questions:

why is the number of days before required window replacement blacked out? is it a case of simply not having a good number at hand?

would it be possible to give a few measurements to illustrate what you mean by "average height and weight"?

is its "blood" similar to white paint only in its consistency and colour, or is there another link there? is there perhaps a better comparison that could be made there?

also, in the third description paragraph, you could probably get away with stating that the person in question is a Class D, or just using their designation, rather than stating both one after the other.

also also, in the second description paragraph, perhaps "protuberances" [or equivalent] would suit the flow better than "horns" specifically.

I kind of blanked on the window requirement days thing, actually! I just got used to blanking out the specific information like dates and all that, hehe. I always pictured it as somewhere around 7 or 8 days or so.

It would be possible to get the average height and weight measurements as well! I'll look at that and do an edit for this stuff! I was going for a kind of overall adult average, across genders and locations and everything.

The blood really was only similar to paint in mostly those two ways, I just liked the idea of its blood having that similarity. I would definitely like to hear ideas for other comparisons though.

I'll just go ahead and fix the last two things in there, too. (also yesss thank you for the help)

On the subject of the window, if normal silica glass dares away, but lead is resistant, perhaps make the window out of 'Lead Crystal,' glass with lead powder blended in while molten, the lead makes the glass crystal clear and adds significant weight. Perhaps the lead in the Lead Crystal will strengthen the window against simplification.

Minor nitpick about the 20/20 vision. If it has to take an eye exam by writing its responses down then technically we're just taking its word for it that it has 20/20 vision. Changing 'displays' to, 'appears to display' would be more clinically accurate.

It's a little bland at the moment, but you've already said that you'll include a bit of personality in the next edit. Don't go overboard there, though—some articles rely on the d'awww factor, or the 'oh poor thing' factor, but this one seems pretty strong with just WTF going for it.

I'd like more information, but not so much that the focus of the article shifts.
